    As of yesterday 9/30/22 I made my 44th donation and I can say all 44 times have been a very great and comfortable experience. Shout out to Ms Jennifer, Ms Elissa and Ms Amanda! They're all very professional ladies and extremely friendly. They always follow procedure to the point and are very educated in what they're doing. They always make sure I'm comfortable and check up on me as I donate platelets for about an hour. I always do platelets since I do what they mostly need and throughout the hour they make sure I'm fine. They constantly ask if I'm okay and if everything is good and if I have plenty of snacks or drinks. When I'm done they always encourage me to take my time resting and continue to ask if I'm okay. I've never had a bad experience or bruised up veins since they do their job in A1 terms. The facility is always very clean and I set my appointments online and do the questionnaire online as well (saves you a lot of time). I can say for the most part I've always been in and out following my appointment time. The small talk that I have with the staff is also quite enjoyable, they're very wonderful people. The snacks are really tasty too, I specifically enjoy the baked cookies. I forgot the brand name lol. Every now and then they give out gift cards, shirts, tickets to events etc.. but honestly I just do it to do a good deed.

    Second bad experience with this location, will not return. They are disorganized and not truthful and the assistance manager is a clown.

    Blood donation is the point of business. The care quality is standard. There is nothing no one…read moredoing here that is above and beyond Noe below standards. The associates are business adequate and direct. Not a personal experience facility.

    I have been donating my O-neg blood and plasma for many years after getting a pacemaker. I am 77…read moreyears old. My neighbor suggested I try BioLife, so I went to this location on Richmond Avenue. There was only one person at the Check-In counter so I had to wait 20 minutes. Once I checked in, which took 5 minutes, I waited another 5 minutes before seeing the first screening unit. The screening took about 5 minutes. I then waited for 10 minutes to visit with a nurse for a physical exam. The exam lasted only 5 minutes. The nurse told me I was not eligible to donate because I had a pacemaker. That's odd. I've been donating for years with a pacemaker without a single problem. I asked the nurse why the disqualification wasn't posted on their website. The nurse didn't apologize. So, I wasted $45 on Uber and 1 hour of waiting in lines just to be denied. This place was a zoo. They were short staffed which caused very long lines. I only met one staffer who was pleasant, the rest appeared to be rushed and unconcerned. One nurse appeared to be frantic while trying to move customers along. After witnessing all of this, I can't imagine why anyone would go here except those who were hard pressed to get some money. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll continue to donate for free at Gulf Coast Blood Centers where I'm surrounded by pleasant staff and get free snacks, including Otis Spunkmeyer cookies.
